Stay Human
Why is this important? In a world that is increasingly digital, it's important to remember the importance of staying human. While blockchain and crypto technology is now mostly used for speculative purposes, their true value lies in the empowerment of human beings and skipping the middleman in the financial businesses. This new African bank is helping to bring blockchain technology to the mainstream and making it more accessible for everyone. The future of African finance is about sending money from one side of the continent to the other in real-time and without incurring exorbitant costs.
The bank's 100,000 users are largely based in Nigeria and South Africa but with the addition of local currencies in Ghanaian Cedis and Kenyan Shillings, the bank is looking to expand its user base across Africa. The launch of Xend Finance's free mobile app on Android and Apple devices has made it easier for people to access banking services.
